Honeoye Falls - Mendon Youth Baseball

Five and six year olds play in the T Ball league. Several practices are held in April, once the weather breaks. Teams play every Saturday morning and a few weeknight games (about every other week, Monday - Thursday, day of the week varies, 6 PM start) from early May until mid-June. You can expect to play 9 to 11 games. Teams are made up of 7 to 10 players and the players receive a uniform shirt and hat.  We generally are able to honor requests for children to be placed on teams with friends or to facilitate families sharing transportation. No records or team standings are kept. As in all leagues, parents of the players provide coaching.

T Ball allows young players to continue to develop their skills. Batters all start swinging at a RIF ball placed on a tee. Fielders play normal positions with catchers optional. The team at bat continues to hit until all players have hit or the defensive team makes three outs; yes, it does happen! Coaches are allowed in the field as well as along the baselines. Games continue for three innings or 1 ½ hours, whichever comes first. As the season progresses and player skills develop, coaches may pitch underhand to the players.
